National Trust & tampons

[oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends]

NT have made free tampons available in the gents' toilets in a castle in the Lake District. Not unisex toilets, but actual gents.

Not just any tampons, but vegan tampons (WTF are they?).
And they're also available in the ladies.

YABU They are demonstrating what a kind, caring organisation they are, & covering their arses.

YANBU They are bonkers, tossers... add your own words.

This 100%

National Trust puts vegan tampons in men’s toilets

I cant get angry over someone getting free period products if they need them.

Be that a man for him friend/partner or a trans person.

Omg I literally saw this headline and thought it was a spoof. Who cares?!

My cousin is using gender neutral pronouns and taking testosterone. I have no idea what toilets they use. I don't think any guy cares what toilet they use. I may not understand how they feel but they are an awesome person. You are spreading hate about something that doesn't affect you in any way. Why?

Wow, I've never seen this in an NT property. I can't imagine any menstruating transman using the gents has not equipped themselves with the necessary.

I'm a member and I just patiently vote for the least barmy people to be in charge. NT have been having progressive paroxysms recently and sometimes not concentrating on the quietly useful things they do well.

In my place of work, lavish amounts of tampons and towels were put in all the women's and 'gender neutral' toilets but weren't used in any quantity, they got kicked about the floor and thrown away and replaced, so it was very wasteful.

One tampon box.

One male loo.

Do you people never sleep...?

I think it's ace. I wouldn't give a flying fuck if there were tampon boxes in every single male loo in the country.

Because I'm a feminist. And if someone who was born a woman wishes for whatever reason - because they're trans, whatever - to use men's loos and it is safe for them to do so, I'm happy that they can access sanpro.

And it normalises periods.

And it's just a basic bit of human kindness that doesn't hurt me, or you, or any man using that loo.

Give it a fucking rest. There are real issues to get angry about - within the gender debate, and in the wider world. Stop rising to every single bit of fucking Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail fucking red meat click bait. It's absolutely fucking pathetic. You wouldn't even know, if someone hadn't decided they wanted to manufacture your outrage.

Take a day off.

It's not the tampons themselves, it's what it signifies with regards to NT. They are captured. They are signalling one of the following:

Transmen (i.e. women) are welcome to use the gents toilets. In which case they are breaking the law.

Or

They are pretending that transwomen (i.e. men) may need san pro. In which case they are participating in a delusion.

Either way, it's not an organisation I'd want to support.

Really? I’m a bit miffed now. You southerners always get freebies.

For women, the explanation of what a women is meant men couldn’t take advantage of women’s rights and safety measures anymore

No changes were made
Trans people have lost nothing

Perhaps it's for transmen (female to male incase you didn't know) that are using the mens toilets and are pre-op

So have I, in quite a few NT properties. I think it’s a nice gesture, open to being taken advantage of, NT general demographic notwithstanding.
I don’t care what they put in the Male toilets, as long as all Men use those facilities only, as per the law.

Next up: RNLI provides halal packed lunches to illegal immigrants, paid for by you the taxpayer!

A part of me would be tempted to send OH in for supplies 🤭

It affects all women if we support an ideology that expects us to pretend men are women.

They should be using the Female toilets. The law works both ways, for the privacy and dignity of both sexes.

To be fair we have free sanpro, deodorant etc in the women's at work in all our offices around the UK.

I have no idea if there's any in the men's, but it really would make no difference to my day if there was.

I'm neither angry nor outraged.
As you'd see if you had bothered to read my posts .

Trans people cannot pick and chose
They must use the toilet which aligns with their biological sex or a unisex/ gender neutral toilet ( which the NT usually have )

Luckily you don’t get to pick and chose on behalf of others

How is putting tampons in men’s toilets shoving men into women’s loos?

This sort of wokeness is why they are haemorrhaging members.

Bullet wounds, so I hear.

Or Scone Of The Month. The carrot cake one for Oct is an abomination.

It's a charity that looks after for our heritage 612,000 acres of countryside and 575 miles of coastline along with 500 historic properties like Churchill's old home, that keeps valuable artwork like Rembrandts and Turners on public display, that promotes the breeding of rare old english varieties of pigs, horses and sheep that might otherwise disappear. That encourages people to get active and out in nature. But you won't support them because of some tampons in the mens loos that you will never even see. 😂People's priorities are SO messed up.
